Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

A SYSTEMATIC RISK ASSESSMENT APPROACH FOR SECURING THE SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEMSIJNSA Journal
The smart irrigation system represents an innovative approach to optimize water usage in agricultural and landscaping practices. The integration of cutting-edge technologies, including sensors, actuators, and data analysis, empowers this system to provide accurate monitoring and control of irrigation processes by leveraging real-time environmental conditions. The main objective of a smart irrigation system is to optimize water efficiency, minimize expenses, and foster the adoption of sustainable water management methods. This paper conducts a systematic risk assessment by exploring the key components/assets and their functionalities in the smart irrigation system. The crucial role of sensors in gathering data on soil moisture, weather patterns, and plant well-being is emphasized in this system. These sensors enable intelligent decision-making in irrigation scheduling and water distribution, leading to enhanced water efficiency and sustainable water management practices. Actuators enable automated control of irrigation devices, ensuring precise and targeted water delivery to plants. Additionally, the paper addresses the potential threat and vulnerabilities associated with smart irrigation systems. It discusses limitations of the system, such as power constraints and computational capabilities, and calculates the potential security risks. The paper suggests possible risk treatment methods for effective secure system operation. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the significant benefits of implementing smart irrigation systems, including improved water conservation, increased crop yield, and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, based on the security analysis conducted, the paper recommends the implementation of countermeasures and security approaches to address vulnerabilities and ensure the integrity and reliability of the system. By incorporating these measures, smart irrigation technology can revolutionize water management practices in agriculture, promoting sustainability, resource efficiency, and safeguarding against potential security threats.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Editor's Notes
Folks in attendance:
Ben Wiles from Supervisor Foust’s Office
Fred Wilkins from the Stormwater Planning Division (Fred is the Project Manager for the Stream Restoration Project)
Will Schaffer & Mohammed Shammet from Kimley-Horn & Associates, which is the Engineering Firm designing the project.
General project area is within the LPR stream corridor, bound by Kirby Road to the North and Franklin Park to the South, running parallel and bound by Briar Ridge Ct, Chesterbrook Vale Ct, and Maddux Lane
Within the project area, there are 6 exposed stream crossings
Realignment of the sanitary sewer will protect against future issues like this one. This crossing will be eliminated by the sanitary sewer realignment, but for now the pipe is stable and interim repairs are underway. The sanitary sewer realignment will provide long term protection of the infrastructure. This is an example of why the project is necessary and important.
Design on the stream restoration project team has continued to advance, and multiple workshops have been held between the two project teams to ensure communication and collaboration.
Proposed alignment, shown in green connects to existing MH 31-3-006, near Franklin Park Road. From the connection point, the proposed alignment runs north, on the west side of the stream. In collaboration with the Stream Restoration Project, the alignment is offset 10 ft from the bank of the proposed stream realignment. Every effort has been made to minimize property impacts while still achieving the project goal of protecting environmental and public health by ensuring the 10 ft buffer from the stream. In this section, two stream crossings are eliminated, X6 and X5. Proposed MH 1 will connect to the existing sanitary sewer between existing MH 31-3-007 and MH 31-3-003 to integrate the new system with the existing
From proposed MH 2, the alignment continues north. The proposed alignment will cross the existing stream in this section; however, the realignment proposed by the Stream Restoration Project pushes the stream east and a minimum of 10 ft from the sanitary sewer. Design development at this location will be closely coordinated with the Stream Restoration Project team and adequate protection measures will be placed within the existing stream channel on an interim basis until the ultimate stream realignment is complete.
In this section, the proposed alignment crosses Chesterbrook Road. An option to connect to existing MH 31-4-205 in Chesterbrook Road was explored, however, due to existing invert elevations, this connection could not be made without breaching the existing tributary south of Chesterbrook Road. Coordination is currently underway with the Stream Restoration Project team regarding the depth of the existing tributary and the viability of this option. One stream crossing, X4, is eliminated in this section.
One stream crossing, X3, is eliminated in this section. It is worth noting that this is the crossing with recent tree damage discussed previously
In this section, approximately 1,320 feet of existing sewer can be abandoned (shown with the red hatch), improving the overall efficiency of the network. Crossing X2 is eliminated in this section.
Similar to the section at the south end of the project discussed previously, this section includes a segment of proposed sanitary sewer that crosses the existing stream. Once the stream realignment is completed, the 10 ft buffer will be established between the sewer and the stream. Design development at this location will be closely coordinated with the Stream Restoration Project team and adequate protection measures will be placed within the existing stream channel on an interim basis until the ultimate stream realignment is complete.
This is the most downstream portion of the proposed alternative. The alignment terminates by connecting the existing MH 31-2-041, on Kirby Road. There is one remaining crossing at the north end of the project. This crossing will continue to be inspected regularly. If crossing starts to show deterioration signs, this crossing could be relined. Collaboration is underway with the stream restoration project to provide extra protection for this crossing by adding additional cover over the crossing.
